Script
Use the Script component to write custom C# methods for use in automations. The Script component can contain multiple methods. This topic describes:
When you add this component to an automation, the system places it on the Global tab of the component tray. For more information, see Adding Global Components to an Automation. This component must be global to be referenced by other automations in the project.
When you add a Script component to a solution and create at least one method for the script, Studio creates an assembly file (Script-identifier.dll) for the Script component. This file, along with DLL files required for any of the other Studio components that generate dynamic assemblies, are stored in the user's %LocalAppData% folder. These assembly files are used by Studio during project design only.
When you create a runtime deployment package for the project, the dynamic assembly created for the project contains all of the required component assemblies.
Creating Script Methods - Overview
To create Script methods, open the Script Constructs window. You can open this dialog by:
Clicking the Edit Script link on the Properties window
Double-clicking the script in the Global tab
Browsing the CodeConstructs property in the Property window
For more information, see Using the Script Component.
